That’s only one reason to keep him. Again, portal players are inherently more risky. Look at AJ Storr. Crushed and Wiscy, sucks at Kansas. Myles Rice crushed at Wazzu, sucks at Indy. Maheney crushed at SMC, sucks at UConn. There’s dozens of more examples.The optics of once again losing our best player aren't good, but i dont want to be forced into keeping him as our top guy just because it looks bad. You can still send a message that you are serious about playing big time ball without trying to build a team around a guy (and paying him as such) that just doesn't seem suited to it (to me at least).

You can still send a message that you are serious about playing big time ball without trying to build a team around a guy (and paying him as such) that just doesn't seem suited to it (to me at least).Regardless of how you rate Coleman, bringing him back is an absolute must. For starters, he’s the bird in hand. We know for certain that he’s at worst a top 15 returning BE player who can excel under Shaheen. He has upside for more, but that’s his floor. We won’t find that level of certainty in the portal. He’s also someone the fans have developed an attachment to. He’s someone to root for.
Second, the school really needs to send a message that they are serious about playing big time basketball. They've failed miserably on that front two years in a row, to the point of being publicly mocked by the national media. If it happens again (and losing Coleman would be a terrible start), the Pru will be a ghost town next year. The fans will not stick around if they think it’s hopeless.
Since there is now a dollar sign on each of these guys we need to look at comparisons just like real estate..This is where I'm at with IC. He is a very good second or third option. He absolutely cant be our best (highest paid) player.
Garwey was a top 50 recruit and Scotty was top 60, so the same logic applies.It is not apples to apples comparison with this years Seton Hall roster. Pitino wanted them back not just for continuity purposes but because they were Top 40 recruits who originally picked UNC and Kansas.
This is where I'm at with IC. He is a very good second or third option. He absolutely cant be our best (highest paid) player.I couldn't agree with this more.
At Seton Hall we need 1 Myles Powell, Kadary Richmond or Whitehead type. I don't know what the funds will allow but if it allows I'd rather spend $1 million on a player who can absolutely take over the game than 500K on 2 good players.
I couldn't agree with this more.Coleman has some talent but he really stands out as a decent player on a very bad team, which overrates his value. He's worth trying to keep, but not worth bending over backwards for.
Seeing this news, he's likely good as gone. His scummy agent will drive the bidding.
Your missing the point. Pitino wanted Zuby and Wilcher back even though they played lesser roles on last year's team.
The otherMarquette 88-65. Tough spot and our best player more focused on NIL representation than this game.![]()
One winnerMarq by 25. 90 - 65. Tough to win on the road and also to repeat the "A" game performance they had against UConn.
Cooley, btw, is apparently a mentor to Sha. Dan posted here a while back that Cooley was someone Sha spoke with often when he took the job, as EC makes it a point to support young AA head coaches.
And Pitino has done nothing but publicly try to help Sha so everyone thinks this disaster of a year doesn’t fall on him or hurt his reputation.
And most were low percentage which is as good as a turnover.5-19 didn’t help his cause last night.
5-19 didn’t help his cause last night.Less agent and more work on your game IC. Your D needs lots of work
I think it depends on the situation. I don’t think Danny is saying leave Seton Hall come to UConn. But if a SHU player is in a bidding war with other schools, let’s say SJU and Georgetown, and everyone knows he’s leaving SHU, I see Hurley getting involved. But I wouldn’t call it poaching considering the player is leaving here anyway.If we had a player Hurley really wanted he would take him in two seconds.
